During installation or manual initialization, the message shows “Failed to set password by IPMI! Check the Minimum password change interval and wait for the set interval to reset the password, or set the interval to 0”

Unlike the circumstance in the section above, this symptom will affect the normal operation of the Lenovo XCC Logger Utility. Generally, if all the three conditions are “True”, this error will happen.

1. This is at least the second time that Lenovo XCC Logger Utility is installed or initialized. (Therefore, the account already exists in the XCC)

2. The “Minimum password change interval” is set to non-zero in the XCC’s configuration.

3. The time difference between this installation/initialization and the last installation/initialization is less than the interval set in 2) above

Then the password changing request is refused by XCC and the installation/initialization is failed.

This problem can be solved in 2 ways:

The first solution is to wait until “Minimum password change interval” has passed and retry to install or manually initialize.

The second solution is set “Minimum password change interval” to zero or a lesser value than the “time difference” in 3) above. The following part shows how to do it:

1. Open XCC WebUI login page in the browser.

2. Type valid XCC administrator username and password to login (NOT the username of the operating system)

3. Locate “BMC Configuration” - “User/LDAP” - “Global Settings”

4. Change “Minimum password change interval” to 0 or a lesser value than the “time difference”

5. Click “Apply”

Then retry to install or manually initialize.
